Thanks. I’ve updated the add-on and that’s solved that problem. But now another one is occurring. Whilst I can now download a resource from that resource page (http://familyimpact.org/resources/family-impact-resources/), if I try to download more than one file it simply downloads duplicates of the first file.
So if I click ‘download’ for Adventure Unlimited and fill in my details and get the download link then it works fine. But if I then click on ‘download’ for any other resource it will simply download the duplicate of Adventure Unlimited.
Please advise on how to resolve this as soon as possible.
Also, I checked in my Downloads > Settings > Updates and it wasn’t showing Form Lock Add-on as having an available update. It would be far more useful if that list reflected which updates were actually available.

According to your question:
It is obvious that I do not mean the title “Downloads”. The word stays thes same in both languages.
In german language you plugin shows the corresponding downloads.
In english language your plugin fails to do that.
That is because in english language there appears nothing more than “DOWNLOADS”.
According to your other sentences:
I it really hard to understand what you want to say, Shaon.
Do you mean,
– you corrected errors with not appears downloads in english version
– you corrected errors with wrong create date?
– I should download WPDM once more?
Please clarify.

Hi,
Undo all changes you have done before.
Find function GetDownloads() in wpdm-archive-page.php ( line no 338). Add following code after first line inside function.
if( ! isset ( $_GET['search'] ) ) die();
If can’t figure it out send login info in private reply.
Thanks.
Follow the steps to customize
You need to copy the tpls dir from download manager plugin dir to active theme dir.
Them rename it copied tplsdir ( which is in your theme dir ) to download-manager
Now edit wpdm-all-downloads.php in download-manager dir ( which is in your active theme dir )
Hi – I’m currently experiencing problems with some of the downloads on one of my sites. You can see the page here: http://familyimpact.org/resources/family-impact-resources/.
There are a list of downloads, all of which are created as packages in exactly the same way. They are simple PDF documents that the site visitor needs to complete a form (using Form Lock) supplying their name and email address in order to access. If you click on any of the download links on that page you should get a pop up form asking the site visitor to subscribe to download. This seems to happen sometimes, but if you click a few of the download links on that page you will soon get a pop up box that instead of the standard form is a pop up box that says:
<BUTTON TYPE=BUTTON ID=’CLOSE’ CLASS=’BTN BTN-LINK BTN-XS PULL-RIGHT PO-CLOSE’ STYLE=’MARGIN-TOP:-4PX;MARGIN-RIGHT:-10PX’><I CLASS=’FA FA-TIMES TEXT-DANGER’></I></BUTTON> DOWNLOAD ADVENTURE UNLIMITED
See attached screenshot for how this appears.
The strange thing is that the error is not reliably replicated. You could easily click on that top resource (Adventure Unlimited) and get the subscribe to download form appear exactly as it should. But if you click on a few different download links on that page you will see the CSS pop up instead of the form, even on a download link that previously displayed the correct form.
I’ve updated the plugin and addons to the latest versions and still seeing exactly the same issue.
What’s going on? How can I resolve this?
I just realized that password protected downloads no longer work, I had to re-install an earlier version of the website to go back to WPDM 4.4. Please fix all issues and publish a new version that works without any issues. Thanks.

Hi Shahriar,
I have tested on completely separate computers which have never visited the site before, and in different browsers. All are experiencing the same problem. I’m not sure what the best thing to do would be as it seems to be working for you only.
At the moment, the Archive plugin is not working at all following the update. I am getting the following error message:
Fatal error: Class ‘wpdm_pagination’ not found in /home/gatcainf/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpdm-archive-page/wpdm-archive-page.php on line 386
Updating the plugin through the new updater does not seem to work. Nor can I find the archive plugin in your list of add ons or my downloads to download it again from scratch.
Any ideas?
Hello,
I have the same Problem, but only when I generate a new download. The old ones have the right Icon. (see the attached picture)
We use the Tree-View shortcut for viewing the downloads. But I also can’t give you access because its only an Intranet site behind a firewall.
Bye Sascha
As an update to any watching, I attempted to do as Substance151 suggested and installed the advanced custom fields add on that came with the special pack I purchased. This looks promising for creating the fields and getting data but as of yet I am unsure how to generate a second email with the data collected.
After creating a group and some fields in the “Custom Fields” area of the downloads menu I went to add them to the form lock only to find that it would not show the field group I created in the drop down… it just said “Select an option” with nothing to select.
Ok… There was an issue someone else had that was similar and 4.5.0 had come out.
After update I was getting an error (see other post) so I deactivated WPDM until I get a resolution to that.
I will keep people updated on how I try to deal with this simple function that should be basic but is not.
Hi,
We are releasing an update soon to fix this issue. Downloads are there, appears after search. However, after update all downloads will be shown by default.
Thanks.
Got it, you want to move Download Manager packages to another site.
Follow these steps,
1. Copy ../wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files directory to your new sites ../wp-content/uploads/ directory.
2. Export all Downloads using Tools Export (You have to install WordPress export plugin)
https://www.evernote.com/l/AUf_JCOb_lhE9aJk8kcNgu1ipSGbDN5HXUAB/image.png
3. Import the file now using Tools Import option, assign all posts to one of admin users
Done.
Check allowed user roles from in Downloads Settings Frontend settings. Only allowed user roles will see the wpdm frontend. Please send login info in private reply if that does not solve it.
We are using the Data Table shortcode to display our downloads and we really like it.
Short-codes
It is setup to be used with Categories (or All Downloads if you remove the Category filter). Is it possible to use Tags? Tags are working with the Tag Shortcode, but we need to use Tags with the Data Table mode too.
Thank You.
Hello
every visitor is not checked into categories, but all the other roles, so I limit for individual packages in categories I check only admin and then select PACKAGES in which roles have access to downloads. Right?
Thanks for your help
Please use following short-code to get the Responsive Table output:
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page=10 jstable=1]
To modify the view you need to do the following:
1) Copy tpls dir folder from download-manager plugin to your active theme dir
2) Rename the copied tplsfolder in your active theme to download-manager
3) finally, To you can modify the output of the table by editing
[active-theme-dir]/download-manager/wpdm-all-downloads.php
http://osz-biv.de/bildungsgaenge/berufliches-gymnasium/termine-und-downloads/ <— this is because you copy/paste short-code, where some extra html tag pasted too. Please use this add-on http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/ to generate short-code.
http://osz-biv.de/downloads/allgemein/ <— is because of your theme, however, please give me temporary wp-admin login info in a private reply, I shall adjust it for you.
http://3dmatic.com.au/wpdm-package/drilling-template/ <– this page is showing page template only, however you can customize or create new page template from Admin Menu Downloads Templates. Doc: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/
To test csv in your installation, please make /download-manager/wpdm-functions.php writable or give me ftp access to download-manager dir..
Hello there,
for my project I need a list of files from a category, I tried the last 4 hours to get this done with the plugin but I end in bugs, maybe its theme related?
These are my settings (for testing)
https://gyazo.com/d8ebc59d0a49923446ec94c7458019d9
and this will end in this view:
http://osz-biv.de/bildungsgaenge/berufliches-gymnasium/termine-und-downloads/
another test, this settings:
https://gyazo.com/c86380235114102d1828bfcd3e05c172
will end in this view (download category page)
http://osz-biv.de/downloads/allgemein/
how to fix that? I only want a list view of files which are belonging to a category?
I am experiencing a settings problem at Downloads Settings Frontend Category Page Options
My settings got “stuck”. No matter what changes I make to the Basic Style display (and yes, I’m clicking “save”) it reverts back to the last style. I can switch to the Link Style, but when I go back to Basic Style, I still have my last used settings which can’t be changed.
Before I messed with this section, on the Category Page, I had the featured image, the title of the download (linked to the download itself), and the (truncated) description. Then I noticed this section of settings (which, by default, had neither Basic nor Link style toggled on) and started trying things….now I can’t get back to how it was.
I can only toggle between the two options (Use Basic Style or Use Link Template) — which would be fine, as the Basic Style with everything unchecked seems to have been the default. However, it’s not working as I would expect. I would expect to be able to uncheck all the boxes, and have all those items not displayed.
1) I can’t ever uncheck all the boxes in Basic Style. Whatever “last box” I had checked, it stays checked, even if I uncheck it and save settings.
2) If I select “Download Link” I just get the word “Download” in plain text — it’s not linked. But a download button (linked) does display, which is redundant.
I hope you can help me resolve this. If you need access to review my settings I can provide it.
